Introduction
In recent years, along with the rapid development of higher vocational education in our country, the
higher vocational colleges are doing a lot of enrollment expansion, new with this kind of situation,
the school dormitory management is becoming more and more heavy burden. School is hard to
come by every student dormitory, under the condition of more cannot be targeted to the students'
dormitory management and guidance [1]. And with the rapid development of computer software
technology and Internet technology, school of digital campus network gradually thorough, the
student dormitory management information system based on intelligent data acquisition of
construction has become a pressing need of high vocational colleges [3].
This design to study the student dormitory management work process, in order to improve the
student's dormitory management efficiency, improve students, dormitory administrators, and school
staff dormitory management satisfaction, through the analysis and research of the student's
dormitory management workflow, combined with the current school of digital campus network
advantages, based on the Android on the basis of the research and development of the intelligent
information management system of the student's dormitory. The whole system including the
administrator information management platform, students' dormitory information management
platform, the dormitory administrator information management platform of three parts, each part
respectively have their own different function.

Android mobile development technology

The Android platform released by Google is an open source operating system based on the Linux
kernel, due to its characteristics of openness, easy operation, widely used in intelligent mobile
phone, tablet computer and other mobile devices. Open Android system mobile phone company and
leader of the alliance and the development of. The Android platform's openness means that the
mobile terminal equipment manufacturers almost all can be added to the Android Development
League application software [3]. The opening of this platform means that applications to encourage
developers to develop more complex to some extent, in order to attract more users choose to use
Android mobile intelligent terminal equipment. Android has become the most popular intelligent

terminal platform, so the choice of Android platform "mobile learning" development is the proper
selection [4].
According to the characteristics of mobile learning fully considered, and the user needs the
guarantee, mobile Android based learning system will be the mobile learning system design of the
main client and the mobile learning system based on the two part of servers. The overall system
architecture as shown in Figure 1, the system will be based on the Android support online or offline
learning network by 3G and WIFI connection.

Mobile learning system to customers include portable equipment Android intelligent mobile
phone and Android tablet computer, the user through a mobile device to access their learning and
other learning courses and related operation [5]. Mobile learning system server mainly consists of
two parts, the database server and server resources. The main function of the database server is to
store relevant to students' personal information, legitimacy and is responsible for the correctness
verification and feedback of the users to submit personal information. Server management
curriculum resources and processing online interactive information, including the student asked the
teacher to answer questions.

System function requirement analysis

Through the control of the server database and management, this system can realize the building
management, room management, dormitory management, user management, rights management,
electricity management, dormitory distribution, dormitory health appraisal required functions, such
as system operation is simple, friendly man-machine interface, stable operation. Intelligent student
dormitory management information system are introduced in detail in this paper the whole process
of research and development, this paper expounds the software development process is applied to a
variety of techniques and methods, mainly completed the intelligent student dormitory management
information system requirements analysis, system design, database design, system development and
testing, etc. Student's dormitory information management system can solve the school every year,
the problem of student dormitory management, to standardize the management of the students'
dormitory process, reduce the staff dormitory management, dormitory administrators and students'
labor intensity, improve work efficiency. Through detailed investigation and research of the school
dormitory management, drawing out of the students.

The basic reasonable structure design, function relatively complete, its operation is stable, after
the system test to meet the needs of the college student dormitory management work. This system is
able to timely collect detailed information to the students' dormitory, can accurately and efficiently
statistics student dormitory accommodation, student dormitory electricity situation, the students'
dormitory health situation and foreign personnel in and out of the data, make the students'
dormitory work management personnel can real-time understanding of students' dormitory
information in detail, and according to the data to adjust the students' dormitory management
strategy, so as to effectively solve the problem of asymmetric information, for the majority of
students to provide a good service platform.

College student dormitory management system design based on Android

Using the computer and network information means such as students' dormitory management has
become the inevitable trend. With the continuous optimization of mobile network and the expansion
of the wireless communication technology, the student apartment management by 3 g wireless
mobile terminals, office whenever and wherever possible. The advantage of the Android platform
combining with the characteristics of mobile portable and powerful function, its use in the
management of student apartment can not only solve the current information system is confined to
limited transmission and people going out in the outside network information, more able to develop
a variety of functions on the platform, meet the demand of management. From the practice of the
school dormitory management, this paper is based on the Android platform, the university students'
dormitory management system based on Android framework is shown in figure 3.

This system according to user needs the student dormitory management information system is
divided into seven function modules, namely: system management module, the student
accommodation module, dormitory management module, health check module, water and
electricity charge module registration module, housing repair service module, the migrant
population. Among them, the system management module is divided into two sub-modules user
registration, password modification. Dormitory management module includes add, query the
dormitory. Students check module includes: hotel management, student information query. Health
check module includes add inspection information and inspection information query two parts.
